3. Some panel discussion I saw with US athletes basically had them apologizing for US behavior beyond sports.

I should have paid more attention to who and what sport but I thought they said it pretty well. Basically thanking folks for welcoming them to the games despite the political issues and hoping to show that not all Americans are Trumpian jerks. One said he hoped to uphold the values of the America he grew up with and wants to see again. I am sure the Trumpanistas are not happy. Good!

Now if the medalists just refuse the inevitable invitation to the WH later, more the better.
